La "Gerbe" et le "Faisceau" ou le classicisme de Georges Sorel

Abstract

In a first place, may we explain that we have tried to emphasize all elements that differenciate, in classicism, the various modes (major: ABSOLUTE) and (minor: relatively prosaic) the spiritual movement of purity and the psycho-ethic constellation of the moderation that one can find in prudence and rationality as opposed to the logic of utopic reasoning. Secondly, must be taken into consideration: a/ the relashionship created in the net which gave birth to the creative thought. B/ The Judeo-Christian inheritance and the heritage of the Indo-European languages, to create a fact: i. E. The Occident being metaphysically “RIGHT” by nature the “LEFT” being untraceable. In connection with the above two trains of thoughts, G. Sorel may feel that he has been the intellectual amorce which through rural aspects, caused the explosion of the complicities: social and urban – psychological and political – which feed both right and left: those political parts being the main instruments of the Government while the truth archetypes of the rights as well as of the left should only be seen through the PASCAL’s train of thoughts, which raised the “Yeast Thought”, anarchist, permanently stammering, to which one must oppose the progressive and careful skepticism of the Cartesian posterity, which naturally comes to “LA PENSEE DU LEVIER” in the Occidental world, the ARCHE fights the GENESIS. The Hegemony of the sense of sight and spatial, architectural and juridic representation dominate the mystic perception by ears and creative vitality which gives preference to humility against the “duodenum” of cruelty and statistician biologism. Finally, all that represents “ORDER” and the “unalterable” aspect of its ethico-ethetism is what genuinely respect means as opposed to respectability to the organization and the everlasting rationality of its development. One must bear in mind archaisms being purely reconducted can only be a form of modernism which is bound to become obsolete. Georges SOREL has pointed out the fact that the necessity of aiming at technical progress in a rather tragic way: the confusion between two values. Our conclusion might be: A choice between ELEVATION… search of the ABSOLUTE… or an easier process: look for comfort and facility… The first aim is certainly more rewarding in the end!. . .
